I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Is Too Much Cash As War Chest A Stabilizer Or Serious Drag In Our Investment Portfolio Performance???




Is waiting for GSS by Mr. Market good investing idea without sacrificing too much on investment portfortlio peformance?

    Uncle8888,

    Heheheh... did you ever estimate what will be your XIRR if you didn't "take back" your 100% capital .... instead leaving it in the market?

    When we no longer have large active income (or time!) as bandages to cover & recover from large injuries by Mr Market ..... more important to protect portfolio than to chase all-out performance ... yup agree fully!!

    However there are many ways to skin a cat ... in terms of psychology & risk management & money management :)

    Showing your big picture & long-term graphs .... people may have better idea that Uncle8888's strategy is not buy & hold until kingdom come .... Neither izit sell all & move to cash & wait for exploding bombs & machine guns before peeking at what stocks to buy. LOL!

    Hi Uncle 8888,

    It is both, isn't it?

    It is a stabilizer when equity returns are falling (crash) but will drag returns when equity returns are climbing (bull).

    Cash is what makes us sleep more soundly at night and it's what we do with the cash over market cycles that counts, no?
